Frequently Asked Questions: Office
What is your preferred form of payment?
We prefer check! We are able to take cash and process cards, but we have a 3% processing fee on debit and credit cards.
Why aren't you answering the phone at the office?
If you call us and no one answers the phone, we apologize! It's likely that we're all busy assisting customers (especially during hunting season), the line is in use, or Natalie may be driving and unable to answer a call. Please leave us a message and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. We appreciate your patience.
How soon do I need to pick up my meat once it is finished?
Space in our freezers is limited and unfortunately we cannot store your meat for weeks at a time. We ask that you pick up your meat within 3-5 days of being notified.
What do I need to transport my meat home in?
On arrival, your meat will be frozen in one of our freezer crates. We have to keep them on site to be reused, so we ask that you bring boxes or a cooler for transport. Unfortunately, we don't always have boxes on hand.
How do you raise your beef and pigs?
We raise all-natural animals! No steroids, no hormones, or antibiotics. We use top quality grain without all of the things that you read about on the internet. Click the button below to learn more:
Frequently Asked Questions: Hunting
How long does it take to process my wild game animal?
During the season, we are processing hundreds of animals. The time it takes to process an animal varies based on how many animals we currently have.
During the hunting season we ask that you please refrain from calling to check to see if your animal is done. We are hard at work getting everyone’s orders processed. We'll give you a call as soon as we complete it!
If you have not heard from us in 2 weeks then PLEASE CALL/TEXT (253) 263-2673. We want you to get your game back as soon as possible, but we may have an incorrect number and are unable to get ahold of you.
Is there an after hours drop for hunters bringing in wild game?
During the hunting season, you'll usually find one of us in the shop till 6pm during the week. If you need to drop an animal off, please call and let us know. We'll work out a time that will work for both of us.
Does my deer need to be skinned and cleaned?
Yes please! We wish we had the time, but during hunting season we are busy processing hundreds of orders. We're known for our high meat standards here at Lind’s Custom Meats, so we need your help to get your game ready to hang and process. See the below image for a great example:
Do you weight my game?
We weigh all elk that come into the shop.
We charge a flat fee to process the majority of the deer, bear, and cougar that come into the shop. If your deer/bear/cougar weighs over 140lbs, we will incur an extra processing fee. This is rare, so we don't normally need to weigh all the game that come into our shop. If you want your weight, please ask for it when you drop your game off.
